Lando Norris launches race team, young driver programme

McLaren Formula 1 driver Lando Norris is launching a junior racing team called LN4 Fusion, with the aim of helping young drivers reach Formula 1. The team, which will compete in multiple junior racing categories next season, was unveiled at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza. Rene Rosin, the founder of successful junior team Prema, will run LN4 Fusion.

Norris will also establish the LN4 Legacy Programme, an independent driver development program. Norris credits his career success to the support and opportunities he received, and his dual programs aim to create a team and environment where drivers can develop.

The acquisition of assets from AIX Racing will help the team achieve this goal.
